ROAR B2B, the organisers behind Naidex, is excited to announce an expanded and ambitious event calendar for 2027.
Following the successful launch of Naidex South at Farnborough International earlier this month, the team is preparing to take the show on the road once again, this time to the North.
Naidex North will open at The Great Yorkshire Event Centre in Harrogate on June 16, bringing together the disability, accessibility and independent living community from across the region for a one‑day event.
Commenting on the launch, Josh Waddell, Commercial Director at Roar B2B, said: “Due to the increasingly high demand for a Northern show, next year we are making it happen.
“Our goal is always to be as accessible as possible, so taking Naidex to a new destination is something we’ve wanted to do for some time. By establishing regional events, our aim is to foster meaningful conversations, showcase innovative solutions in independent living, and support professionals and individuals with the latest advances in accessibility.”
Also in 2027, Roar B2B will be hosting its flagship Naidex event at Birmingham’s NEC on March 23-24.
Back by popular demand, the show will present several dedicated zones, including Naidex Junior, Business Without Barriers, Care & Dementia and Neuro Rehab, catering to a diverse audience of healthcare professionals, manufacturers and children and adults with lived experience.
The event will also include a range of stand-out features, including an adaptive climbing wall; the Mobility Test Track, giving visitors the chance to try mobility equipment across ramps and varied surfaces; a dedicated children’s play area; hands‑on workshops and immersive experiences; the Village Green, hosting live performances and interactive sessions; and a packed conference programme offering inspiring talks and insightful panel discussions.
Completing the 2027 line-up, Naidex South will return to Farnborough International Exhibition and Conference Centre on October 6.
The inaugural roadshow event took place on September 9 this year, welcoming over 70 exhibitors and close to 2,000 visitors.
Josh said: “Naidex has been running for over 50 years and making it more accessible for communities across the country has been on our agenda for some time. So, we were over the moon with the response to our first regional event, and we can’t wait for the next one!”
